The most longer day of my life, I have to admitt! I don't know how much Red Bull I drank today! but definitely not enough yet! I had to wake up at 4 this morning because we (4 riders: Ucchie, Doko, Tsutomo and I, 1 Dj and 1 speaker guy) had to go to the city of Shizoka for some shows. This F***city is preeeetty far from Tokyo! Dude, that was a looong drive. We got there and I found out the show was for a big Hip-Hop music reunion. Dude, I'm more Rock and roll than Hip hop, but it was fun tho. We did a battle (Tsutomo-Doko Vs Ucchie and I) and the crowd liked it. Apparently we won with Ucchie, but who cares? hehehe After this, We went to the public bath (the naked stuff related a few days before) to get relaxed and we needed it.! good stuff! We eventually went to this crazy place-restaurant that served fish-snake . Of course I tasted it and It tasted good! hehe. Another looong drive to get to ucchie place. At first we were motivated to go out tonight, but we found out everyone was too tired to party. I'm ridiculously dunzo at the moment so I guess it's time for me to get some rest: riding day Tomorrow. It's 2:03 a:m right now, i quit. Peace out. Matthias Le jour le plus long de ma vie... Je dois admettre. Je sais pas combien de Taureau rouge j'ai bu aujourd'hui, mais apparement pas encore assez! :) Levé ce matin à 4 H parce que nous ( 4 riders: Ucchie, Doko, Tsutomo et moi, ainsi que un Dj et un speaker) devions nous rendre dans la ville de Shizoka pour faire une démo. Cette P**** de ville est suuuuuper loin de Tokyo, on en a fait de la voiture... En arrivant la bas, je me suis aperçu que la démo était pour un gros rassemblement Hip-Hop au japon. Je suis plus Rock and Roll, mec, mais c'était drôle. On a fait une battle (Tsutomo-Doko Vs Ucchie-Moi), et le public a bien accroché! Apparement on a gagné la battle avec le Ucchie, mais est-ce bien important? hehe Après cela, on est tous allé au bain public (le truc à poil dont je parlais quelques jour avant) histoire de récupérer, et c'était bien cool puisque on en avait bien besoin. La trempette fini, direction un restau un peu foufou qui proposait du poisson-serpent héhéhé, ca sonne tellement glauque. Bon, bien sur j'ai pris ça! et bon choix. Bref, c'était l'heure de se reeetaper la voiture dans le sens inverse. On était tous motivé pour sortir ce soir au départ de Shizoka, mais en arrivant à Tokyo, vu nos tête, il valait mieux aller se coucher, ce que je vais faire directement après ça d'ailleurs. Il est 2h03 du matin heure locale, je rend l'antenne, à demain.

Sunny day, summer times and French food in Japan.... Ucchie woke me up early this morning. We went to the Casino. They call this "Pachinko". One of Ucchie's best friend "Kenji" is a professional gamer (he make a good living out of money games lol). He showed us some tricks and we went to a japanse food market to have a breakfast? Pastas by morning time are the best! We also passed in front of a french bakery; so It was good to taste some home specialities after a week! We eventually took Ucchie's van for a session@Aoki park. This spot is always filled with riders and skaters so It was a fun session. It was sooo warm and sunny... Holidays!! pulled some shit aswell as Ucchie and broke my headset bearing... Time to go at the bike shop once again. One of the mecahanic guy was a pro street rider and fixed my bike like a professional! Thanks dude if you read this. I was ready for another session! I'm pretty dead right now and Ucchie 's laying on the floor sleeping in front of me. LOL. I think i'm ready for the graveyard at the end of that trip. But that's how it is! Go hard or Go home! Take it easy! Matthias PACHINKO:

Ok so Day 2-3 and 4 are now comming!! We have been filming for the next Abadthing japan Dvd! We have been to many spot: The First spot was the infamous Setagaya spot where we rode with the locals and shot some cool tricks. Back in the van for a 30 min ride straight to Guinsa (the rich part of Tokyo). We rode in the middle of a walking street, so many people stopped to watch us! funny time. The Last spot was fucking awesome! It was called "Toyosu". A perfect concrete floor next to the water! Good time! Then we all went to eat at a West Coast Japanese style restaurant. At night we all went to Le baron de Paris where we had the Matthias welcome to Japan party! Ucchie and Matthias did a small show inside the club! so cool. UCCHIE FILMING AT SETAGAYA: UCCHIE AND MATTHIAS RIDING AT TOYOSU Yesterday was really busy aswell! We did a show at Shibuya AX at the half time of a big street basket contest!
